#SAFESCAPE 101: CAMPING VS OVERLANDING

Are you more of a camping or an overlanding type? Find out the difference between the two based on the list below.

Camping

• Involves setting up of tents outside your vehicle or in areas like beach or woods with mountain views
• Usually relies on campground that has amenities like water, shade, bathrooms, and electricity
• Takes less preparation and less of the “plan for the worst” scenarios
• Can be a short day camp or an overnight experience
• Focuses more on the destination and available activities
• Best for those who want to spend quality time with family and/orfriends, relax, and enjoy scenic views

Overlanding

• Involves long-distance travel to remote locations
• Uses vehicle as primary camp setup for eating, sleeping and relaxing
• Usually lasts for extended lengths of time (months to years) and have multiple destinations
• Can be expensive due to the amount of equipment you’ll need like roof racks, roof tents, interior modifications to the vehicle, and an off-road capable truck or SUV
• Focuses more on the journey and experience
• Best for those who seek self-reliance, adventure, survival, and discovery
